Deep Quiet Handcuffs- Static

作品賞析

YE Yi-Jhen borrows the Chinese bird-and-flower painting genre to voice her feelings, likening the flower to a woman, expressing the changing feelings of her psychological state when she finds herself facing external circumstances. In Deep Quiet Handcuffs-Static the artist uses artistic realism to depict an elegantly colored, purple flower. In still water, the flower petals tranquilly open up to make a beautiful presentation. This work is divided into an upper and lower part. The upper part of the canvass represents the unsettled feeling of the ego facing the external; the bottom portion points to when a woman alone with herself experiences an inner calm. The artist believes that the flower seems to symbolize the spirit of perseverance when a woman is faced with external circumstances. YE Yi-Jhen communicates conflicting feelings of rationality and coldness but also romance--and also the most honest reflection of her deepest, innermost self.
